[Bug 29126] New: Stale old gecko files remain after Wine Gecko uninstallation

Bug #: 29126
           Summary: Stale old gecko files remain after Wine Gecko
                    uninstallation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.33
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: mshtml
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

It's more a question rather than a bug report, but I've noticed that after Wine
Gecko uninstallation, all its files under windows/system32/gecko remain intact.

E.g. after I've upgraded to Wine 1.3.33 I have two gecko engines installed -
1.3 and 1.4, so I `wine uninstall`ed v1.3 but like I said all its files are
still there.

questions are normally asked in the forum...
i think the sense of keeping the files is for the case of downgrading wine
(e.g. for regression testing), but maybe the files really should be removed on
uninstall.

There are two things:

- When upgrading we intentionally keep the old installation. Uninstalling is
not worth the trouble to do by default, but it should be harmless to remove old
Gecko installation.

- Explicit uninstall of Gecko package should remove its files. I've just tested
and only 1.4/wine_gecko/windbgdlg.exe remained installed for me.

Which is expected, right? Because I don't see that file in the package
I have here.

That's OK with me.

That's exactly what this bug is about, MSI doesn't remove Gecko 1.3 files. I've
just rechecked Gecko 1.4 and its files are successfully removed on
uninstallation so this bug is no longer valid (I guess there's no sense in
fixing Gecko 1.3 MSI package).

Yes, windbgdlg.exe is not part of the package (it is only part of debug version
that we don't even use MSI for). I'm not sure how it ended up in my install,
but this bug is WORKSFORME.
